Aren’t there HIPPA laws?

Yes, but looking over the above list, none of this violates HIPPA. I know HIPPA, at least the parts I need for developing software (I still have a off and on open project with Kaiser), and the information above would not, in general, allow anyone to actually identify the patient themselves. Now, if name or social or patient ID or stuff like that is included in this disclosure, that would be a problem.

Now, I haven’t read the whole law, the whole PDF, so, there may be something in there that is still problematic to HIPPA regulations.

My comment is in regards to Charles’ summary above.
